Unfolding the MISE concession – a journey shaped by external events

Addendum #2 from 2020-2024 EFP acknowledges MISE's right to receive a terminal value at concession expiry…

Concession Addendum #1

  • › Regulatory period 2013-2017
  • › Full completion and amortization of investments

Concession Addendum #2

  • › Regulatory period 2020-2024, signed on 5th November
  • Right to receive a terminal value equal to non-amortized assets
  • › Does NOT take into account the recovery of the "Covid-19 effect" and any "Inflationary effect" – they will be included in the 2025-2028 EFP

Concession Addendum #3

  • › Regulatory period 2025-2028, will formalize the approved new 2025-2028 EFP
  • › MISE has included a terminal value as the only path to avoid tariff increases above sustainable levels, in line with provisions of Art.8 of Addendum #2
  • Current draft envisages a take-over value ≈€430mln related to planned investments that won't be amortized by 2028

NEW ELEMENT: APPROVED RIGHT TO TAKE-OVER VALUE

ARTICLE 8.3

"Per le opere assentite che il Concessionario ha già eseguito e non ancora ammortizzato alla scadenza della concessione, il Concessionario uscente ha diritto a un indennizzo di tali poste dell'investimento da parte del subentrante, pari al costo effettivamente sostenuto, al netto degli ammortamenti, dei beni reversibili non ancora ammortizzati come risultante dal bilancio di esercizio alla data dell'anno in cui termina la concessione, e delle variazioni eseguite a fini regolatori. L'importo del valore di subentro è a carico del Concessionario subentrante"

… and the duty to continue ordinary operations with a right to apply tariff increases until concession hand over

Applicable tariffs

  • Operational charge: based on the "carryover" of the tariff in force
  • Construction charge: determined with art.21 of ART n.69/2019
  • Starting RAB = Takeover value at concession expiry
    • decreased annually by the average depreciation of the last 3 years
    • increased annually by necessary capex
  • Allowed rate of remuneration = WACC at concession expiry
    • remunerated trough the construction tariff
    • Excess of collected cash flows vs amount allowed by ART, reduce the final terminal value

FOCUS: ART DEFINES TECHNICAL EXTENSION MECHANISM

ARTICLE 8.1

"[…] Alla scadenza della concessione, salva diversa indicazione del Concedente, il Concessionario resta obbligato a proseguire nella gestione ordinaria delle autostrade e delle relative pertinenze, alle condizioni della presente Convenzione come modificata con il presente Atto aggiuntivo e dalla Misura 29 dell'allegato A della delibera ART n. 69 del 2019 […]

Il Concessionario uscente resta, altresì, titolare delle tariffe di pedaggio autostradale di cui all'art. 16 del presente Atto Aggiuntivo e del relativo diritto di conseguire gli eventuali aggiornamenti tariffari maturati nel periodo […]."
